A reminder of the current situation.

Covid-19

Eligibility: https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/

Availability: NHS are no longer running their own appointment-making system.
This winter's version is still available from some pharmacies until 31 January.  
They may have individual availability times, see:

Flu

Flu vaccinations (65+, pregnant, higher risk, or private) are available from some pharmacies.  See https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/pharmacy/find-a-pharmacy-that-offers-free-flu-vaccination for details of eligibility and a link to a pharmacy finder. Some may offer appointments: you may have to dig down into their individual listing.

RSV

Currently eligible/recommended:

If pregnant (at 28+ weeks), or age 75-79, or became 80 on or after 1 Sept 2024.

This has been available from GP practices.  I was offered one by text.  When I responded a week later they didn't have any available but gave me one by appointment three weeks later.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      Does anyone know why the waiting time is so long? Are all the counter spaces being used? If so, it's hard to see how things could be speeded up within the existing building. Is the office short staffed eg due to illness? Are the queues at particular times of day which may coincide with staff breaks? Are the counter staff inexperienced or lack full training or are just very slow? Is the manager inexperienced? Do the customers have things which may take a long time? I'm sure there are other potential reasons. Without knowing what the issues are, it's hard to say how things could be improved.

      Maybe, temper the complaint to say that it is a popular, well used service but understaffed by helpful people, often resulting in long queues of over an hour.  Make it less about how bad it is but how well.used and needed it is 😉
